Are You Eligible?
Grasping the eligibility criteria for an FHA loan is essential for a seamless application process.Here are the key factors you need to consider:
- Credit Score: FHA loans are more forgiving with credit scores, allowing for a minimum score that's typically lower than conventional loans, making it accessible to those working on improving their credit.
- Debt-to-Income Ratio: Your financial health is assessed by looking at your debt-to-income ratio. This ratio ensures that your financial obligations remain manageable alongside your new mortgage.
- Employment and Income Verification: Consistent employment and a steady income stream are vital. You’ll need to provide proof of employment history and income to demonstrate financial stability.
- Property Requirements: The home you’re looking to purchase must meet specific standards set by the FHA and be located in approved areas within Wisconsin or Minnesota.
Citizens State Bank will guide you through these requirements, ensuring a clear understanding and helping you prepare for a successful application.
